Positive Queen of Dancehall Karamanti who has been in Europe since the end of April
decided to shoot the official video to one of the lead singles off her new
album, "Dancehall Retaliates," while there. The track is entitled “Pack Up & Run” and it talks about her separating herself from those in the dancehall
industry that chooses to do dirty, degrading and negative music.

Gothenburg. Video arrangements were made possible by Tyga Man, the CEO and
owner of Nitelife Mix Sound Crew (who is responsible for Karamanti’s
tour), and
directed by Mark Kwamina better known as Ras Tonto of Ghana (CEO and owner
of MKQ Productions), with assistance from Louise Ming.

With so many emerging young talents and a shift in the style and form
of classic reggae music, finding the right artists for the rhythm
proved to be a challenge while the idea of honoring these reggae legends
was an easy one.
Mightyful13 Records Producer, Fitzroy Francis and Founder of Global
Linkz Radio Phyllis "EmpressSkortcher" Chamberlain, have teamed up on
this project with each selectively choosing the artists and songs. The
goal is to capture a worldwide audience with Operator2013 Rhythm
Velocity, while keeping Delroy Wilson's and Bunny Lee's work fresh in the minds
of foundation reggae lovers and simultaneously reaching a younger
generation of true reggae music enthusiasts.
In coming months expect the release of Spain Reggae Recording Artist, Tete Man Levi's single "Energia Libre/Free Energy" as well as a remix of Chyna Nicole & Andrew Bees'"Cool Operator" on the same rhythm.
